Supporter groups file lawsuit against FIFA over World Cup ticket prices
The Football Supporters Europe (FSE) and Euroconsumers have filed a lawsuit with the European Commission against football’s world governing body FIFA over “excessive ticket prices” for this year’s World Cup final, Reuters reported. “Euroconsumers and Football Supporters Europe (FSE) have filed a formal complaint with the European Commission against FIFA, alleging that the football body has abused its monopoly position to impose excessive ticket prices and opaque and unfair purchasing conditions and processes on European fans ahead of the 2026 World Cup,” the FSE said in a statement on Tuesday. “FIFA holds a monopoly over ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup and has used that power to impose conditions on fans that would never be acceptable in a competitive market,” the group added, according to Reuters.
